Acks the League of Riveters have paid me a visit! Where'd all my loose toilet roles and egg trays go? ...I'm watching you lot.

The caravan is fantastic!! Although it needs a bit of weathering! It looks like it just came off of the assembly line Some kind of toy?

I do wonder how I'm thought of as I peruse the toy isle of super markets youknow... Which actually come to think of it one time there was another guy doing the same thing. I walked up to him, subtly like, and, with the mannerisms of a drug dealer offering a potential buyer some crack, said something to the effect of "so what scale you going for bud?". It was 1/72.

Yesterday payday hit and, not having bought any miniatures in a month or so, I did the bad thing. Suffice to say, here's a paraphrased listing along with my intentions for each.

Tamiya 1/48 M10 Tank Destroyer - For a bit of NCR armour
Tamiya 1/48 BA-64b Armoured Car - ...I really like these things, probably to leave me with two Chinese ones and a generic wastelander/raider one

Bolt Action 1/50 Humber Scout Car - I'm considering using this with Caesars Legion due to its blocky look, but really I just bought it because it looked cool.

And the second hand stuff:

2x Star Wars Stormtroopers on Dewbacks - Probably as caravan guard types, though I don't know whether to keep their spears or not. (my friends were a tad appalled at the notion that I would be cutting these up as they're apparently worth something. I sniggered a little)
1x Star Wars C3-PO - He looks a lot like that character from Metropolis, which ... I donno yay robots!
5X Secrets of the Third Reich (Incursion) Americans in Power Armour - Power armour, 'nuff said. Its crude looking so maybe T-47c?
2X 1/50 American WWII Jeeps - Wastelander stuff, probably just to clutter up boards as parked vehicles (though then again I was looking for a truck for my League of Riveters piece...)
2X Sci Fi Soldier types - They look like guys in environmentalal suits or something, so probably BOS in Fallout: Tactics Environment Armour or something)
1X German WWII Infantryman with SMG - Just a new paintjob and I have myself a raider
1X Mad Max Raider type (down to the football armour and hand crossbow) - A Raider obviously =)
1x Bolt Action German Casaulty Markers - I actually thought these were the American ones, but I suppose they'll still be suitable as markers or terrain
1x The Assault Group Special Edition Platoon film miniature - Nice model, but I don't think I want to paint it unless I get much better at it
1x Reaper Fly Demon - Fly mutant to go along with the Bloatflies
1x Some sci fi (perhaps Infinity) woman in a stealth suit type - A BOS Circle of Steel Assassin in Stealth Armour (not necessarily Chinese)

No pictures at this second. I've been bogged down with paperwork this week, but still, currently on my painting table lies: Another BOS Humvee (that WIP one from like the first post), another Chinese Remnants Officer (plus woot, my flgs has gotten around to ordering those Russian troopers too), an American mech (Dust Tactics), some guy in a Hazmat suit, the still unfinished Legion Chariot and the still WIP League of Riveters entry (though at least I've built more ...ah wait, we're suppose to finish bits first before that happens right?). I'll try and finish all of that before I move onto the stuff I bought yesterday, but no promises.

Can't wait to see these all set up like your other Fallouty stuff!

They should look great when theyre all done, looking forward to seeing them complete

Well I'm out of a camera again, so no picture updates for the short term. Here's hoping my British charm can hold over the long winter until I can find a new one (suggestions welcome on that front btw).

So here, have another paste job of what I bought today towards the Fallout model front.

1x HobbyBoss F-80A Shooting Star - From what I can tell the ones in Fallout 3 (notably seen sitting atop Rivet City) are a straight rip of one of these. I'll probably use it as a piece of terrain like the other fighters I have.
1x Crooked Dice Simian Minions Blister - Besides that one of them is armed with a net for capturing poor Charlton Heston, I'll be using these as Legion Slavers.
1x Crooked Dice Armed ARC Astros - To be used as wastelanders in Environmental Suits. As with my other models in such suits they can be used by pretty much any faction for scenarios involving radiation or similar hazards (ie chemical filled pits).
1x Copplestone Future Wars Zombie Troopers - either for use as ghouls, or with a head swap mercs or something. Hey the blister was on sale and its a nice range. =)
1x Dead Man's Hand Cacti - Cliché looking Cacti. I think they grow in Arizona, but I suppose none of my opponent's are going to get too anal over geography hiccups (I'll leave that for you fine folks on the internet).
1x West Wind Berlin Or Bust US Heads in Forage Caps - these were a pound, and I can always do with more heads I suppose.
1x Musketeer British Militia Command - for use as Settlement Militia or some other form of generic Wastelander
1x Artizan Spartan Javelinemen - These'll server as Legion Slaves, either as rebellious ones (due to some of them being armed), or cannon fodder for the Legion. I didn't actually intend to have both Slavers and Slaves, but its a nice coincidence that could pan out well for future scenarios (ie a small force of Legionnaires sent out to recapture fleeing slaves).

When I go into a shop I'm the type to spend ages scouring every blister pack for something useful. Thus the randomness of my purchases. I think I hack off one of my FLGS owners a little by coming into his historical models shop and telling him that I'll be sticking death rays on his kits.

I found a loose camera in my kitchen drawer randomly. It appears to be a disposable type compact, compared to the pricey thing I was using previously. How's the image quality?

Anyhow. Lots of interesting pieces were bought recently, so I'd like to make some headway on the ones I have plans for ( the two would be Enviromental Armour types in particular). But first there's still some stuff to finish on my painting table, so it may be a couple of days before that happens.

* Ah, and looking at that linked Enviromental Armour mod (however poor the writing was), I'd love to create some an NCR black ops unit (that's the suit my character wore in New Vegas too FYI). Yes, I do have a terrible habit of going "ooh shiny" at everything, but my modelling style's more like a marathon rather than a sprint, so projects are finished eventually (and even more added on).

So, picatures.

Brotherhood of Steel
Circle of Steel Operative (Infinity perhaps? It was being sold along with some anime style robots)


Wearing some sort of recon/stealth suit, this provides me with Brotherhood specialist other than just another guy in Power Armour.

The Circle of Steel originate from Van Buren, where they were an extremist body within the Brotherhood of Steel. The Prisoner would be tasked with uncovering them and their schemes, before eradicating the organisation before the led the Brotherhood to become even more introverted and radical in their actions (which considering that they were at war with the NCR at the time would mean even more deaths).

New Vegas changed them a little. They're fairly extreme even by Brotherhood standards, but they're not an element that the main organisation is trying to expel any more. Rather they act as agents that enforce the edicts of the codex, hunting down any chapters or individual that stray from it too much. Elder Elijah after perceived desertion from the Mojave chapter was hunted by one such operative, as would I suspect that Fallout 3's Brotherhood should be expecting a visit soon too...

Caesar's Legion
Legion Slaves (Artizan Spartan Javelinmen + Maxi Mini zombie heads for the spiked heads)


I'll need to go over these again as I hadn't realised I'd missed out the highlights, etc until looking at this picture (plus the focus is crap). These could either serve as regular slaves carrying salvaged weapons, or some rebellious ones. Still, more fodder for my Legion forces, whom I feel haven't been receiving enough love lately. Sitting half painted Legion wise though I do have some Slavers, a Humber Scout car and the Chariot, so I suppose they'll be being bulked up soon enough.

Wastelanders
American Remnants, Border Patrol (Dust Tactics Recon Marines + Maxi Mini zombie heads)


Just the one for the moment. The other four are basecoated, but I wanted to test the colour scheme first- I was split between winter camo, green army surplus, and desert. I went for a desert suedo WWII scheme in the end (though yes, he's very brown overall). He has the insignia of the 23rd Infantry Division on his left shoulder guard, though I'll try and make such details a bit more obvious on the better posed models.

Slightly larger than most of my models (30mm-ish), but I suppose I'll put that down to that these are former (not in their eyes of course) US super soldiers/well fed fellows, a step above anything the wastes could ever produce (again in their eyes). I picked them as I rather liked their armour style and their sci fi styled M14 Springfields. So as opposed to the Chinese remnants that appear to be conscripts, these are rather US troopers equipped to a much higher standard.

As what remained of the US army stationed on the mainland fell apart, groups such as these did what they could to cling onto the old ways. Perhaps only in name do these individuals still represent their former colours, they still remain aloof from wasteland society. Where their fellow ghouls have moved on an accepted the new world, they consider that as long as they bear the arms and banner of the nation they served, America won't die.

Of course this inability to accept that the world has changed, could easily serve as a reason to bring them into conflict with the other factions of the wastes. Consider that a group who's peening for the old ways of the US (ie the jingoistic hellhole) comes into contact with the NCR, a comparatively liberal nation (and let's not get started on their inclusion of Asian people...). What you don't have a 100 speech skill and a pre-war military radio. Sorry, no luck then bub.

Meh, a fun aside party to add a bit more colour to the Fallout world.

Chinese Remnants, Officer (Bolt Action, Berlin or Bust, Japanese)


Another one of these fellers (this guy's tiny, hence the odd shot). Now that I've ran out of Khemri Brown I'm attempting a new colour scheme with what GW say is the next best thing, Baneblade Brown. It isn't (far too bright), but it'll do. On the subject of the Chinese, my flgs has those Wargames Factory Russians in now, but I couldn't buy them on the day as they'd yet to be processed. Its discrimination against Ghouls I tells ya!

Wastelander in Enviroment Suit (Unknown source)


For 7TV more scientists are always better it would seem. Aside from that I'd like to play some scenarios involving radiation, so an option to suit up people in protective suits would be good (even if it is only to scavenge a side objective).

Mister Gutsy (Brother Vinni)


Vinni's gotten elements wrong, but over all the design works. This one's pretty much built as it came, barring having to cut down some bits to make them fit right, and the addition of two more eye stalks (which I have no idea why they weren't included with the base kit, though I suppose the same goes for the aerials on the eyebot model). I painted this one up intending it to be a Mister Orderly (from Old World Blues, which has blue and red decals), but didn't have a computer to hand at the time, so its more like just a generic white Mister Gutsy. I have another two of these to build as well, one probably as a US Army Mister Gutsy and the other one as a Mister Handy (with pincers rather than weapons).

WIP Various Power Armours (Dust Tactics/ Brother Vinni)


A (T49-a) suit this time with a helmet (T-51b, but who cares if its the wrong mk?), a suit of Enclave Mk1 Power Armour (or some version of it. The Enclave suits went through a few iterations before the field versions were developed), and finally a NCR Heavy Trooper in Salvage T-45d Power Armour.

The Enclave suit's based off of a Dust Tactics Allied one, whereas, as has been mentioned before, the Brotherhood one's a German suit from the same game. I have another couple of both, though a shortage of heads, so I may need to try and make some of my own with greenstuff (though the enclave helmet's are a bit finicky with all the cables. At least with the Brotherhood I can use bare heads, though I don't think it would suit the Enclave's aesthetic to give them a face.

As far as the Salvaged Power Armour its a suit of T-45d that I removed the knee servos and power plant from. The arms are from a Dust Tactics German soldier, whilst the head is Maxi Mini. Whilst my Brotherhood Paladins are fairly nondescript, this guy looks more rugged, his waste covered in pouches with extra gear, etc. Overall a more practical looking guy.

Plus another bit for my League of Riveters entry. This shack would function as a place to store the reststop's supplies. As its just a shack I didn't bother adding details like windows or neon signs/ whatever. The base'll have bits and bobs like shelves and a workbench on it probably.

Just plain awesome!

This one is from that i-Kore / Urban Conflict game IIRC. The Syntha faction or something like that.

And yeah, really liking this all, only thread on Dakka Dakka I'm subscribed to! Not to mention inspirational as hell!

All looking good, like the steel operative.

Aww Brookie, I thought there was a wonderful thread all about amazing food in the DCM area that's much better than this (the one with the women would clearly be a close second for your affection). Ah, synthetics would explain all the stuff it was boxed with (it looked like say a starter set plus some extras). Whatever, she was a pound to me.

Oh, and in games of 7TV I'd be arming her with an SMG with the pistol effect, along with the High Calibre effect. See she's not hunting down wastelanders in rags, but BOS Knights and Paladins in heavy armour. A bit like how I played S.T.A.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, with a full automatic handgun loaded with AP rounds - ie running straight up to enemies and unloading a whole mag into them. If they lived through that I was screwed though.

Also, I may be up against another stumbling block with my Chiense Remnants. I just noticed that Brother Vinni sells some Japaese zombie heads. I don't suppose anyone would notice ratial differences with zombies ...but I kind of want to spend some more money on his Fallout stuff and I need a way of justifing it.

I avoid the food thread, because that's how I get fat all the time.

As for the zombies / ghouls: They all look alike, you gotta shoot 'em in the head remember?

Really digging my own Brother Vinni minis though, the power armour mini is perhaps a bit small compared to the Vault Dwellers and NCR Ranger, but still looking pretty darned good. I may need to look into applying the 7TV rules myself for this, especially now that a friend is playing through the first two Fallout games for the first time.

I raise up my T-45d suits a little to make them appear larger, but yes, the scale's a little off (in game their scale's usually set to 1.1/1.2 compared to the average human 1.0).

There's a guy over on Lead Adventure making some Fallout stuff as well, along with conversion kits for the Brother Vinni stuff that I may have mentioned. He's testing out casting right now, but's looking to sell his stuff eventually. Just saying as its rather good, and probably won't be getting hung up for weeks by the Russian postal service (though be warned, gravy stains may be included instead).





I do need to get around to making up some custom rules for the setting using the 7TV ruleset. At the moment I'm being hung up by 7ombieTv though, but I do have a few ideas that I've been meaning to pen down for custom scenarios.

Yeah, I know the guy from another forum, he showed us his progress, really looking forward to one of his amazing Deathclaws!

I thought about getting a T-45d, but I'm not a big fan of Fallout 3 and the early production suits, so instead I went with the minigun mini and a set of extra heads to make it look more like the classic T-51b. Okay, it looks nothing alike but shush. working on a budget here!



Amazing sculpt, just wish it had a bit more height and bulk to it, especially when compared to the (unarmoured) minis of the same range. Also, those shoulders are a bitch to properly remove from their tabs, one broke when I tried removing it.

The minigun guy's based off a concept picture on deviant art (pity Vinni didn't make the Air Force suit or some of the gyrojet weapons). Meh, its a Fallout model, its not as if many people even know that piece of art exists anyhow (though I suppose Vinni did plan on making T-51b at one point, but all we're left with is the head).

I just popped into my flgs over my lunch break and bought some more crap. The Russians turned up, so I'm just waiting on their AKs to begin work on them. Aside from that I bought some more models to use as slaves, plus some NCR related things including some cavalry (as seen in the All Roads comic, because why not?). Off to the ever growing pile of lead and plastic they go.

A few WIPs from the stuff I bought yesterday. A pair of Chinese Remnants Conscripts (lacking their rank strips), a Remnants Commissar (crap, I forgot her scabbard!), and a NCR Cavalryman (sans greenstuff armour). With the conscripts I've yet to convert any to be wearing authentic Mao style jumpsuits, though I suppose, like the US, the Chinese were using a variety of uniforms at the time (and perhaps they were churning out so many soldiers demand outstripped supply, that or these guy's have just salvaged some uniforms).



And edit (I have no internet connection right now, so I'm writing this crap up as I go and posting it the next day. The lengths I go to for you lot...). Here's my attempt at a Legion Centurion (Phallicus, to go along with Castratious). I need to add straps for the armour to attach too and clean it up a little, but whatever. He's based off the same models I used for the Slaves ...as some sort of cruel irony or something.



That desk that they're sitting on is in fact chipped to gak too. Cutting mat? Oh no, that would cost monies (though I suppose a new desk would wind up as a larger bill...).

Another WIP of the Centurion. I've added some more armour to him and a mantle to bring him more in line with the in game appearance (though of course I'm not wanting an exact replication of the design, not every Centurion dresses the same, especially given the looted nature of their armour).


Woah, this blog has reached a new level of excitement with this image! Yup, uh... chopped up kinder eggs. Besides being a psychopath that gets off on cutting up kids toys, I'm pushing myself to work on some terrain for that Jericho (a Ghoul settlement) scenario that I planned a few pages ago.


Ooh, they still smell like chocolate. ...Probably aught to wash them before I start painting them. ^^'

Would people prefer it if I carried on with the wide range of models, or if I tried for more focussed batches? Either way I'm slowly building up my miniature count. I mean I could just alternate between doing faction based stuff (or other related groups like terrain), then some miscellaneous pieces, so the variety would still be there. Plus I dunno, I could get away with ever so interesting thread titles like “Fallout: Heading East – Update: 对于郑董事长, Chinese Remnants”.

I need to get around to painting more terrain actually. It'd be nice to stick together some more cinematic looking shots (or at least have a backdrop other than a white piece of card).

Hmn, I need to get in some more games too. I play 7Tv quite a bit, but in its base form mostly, not Fallout themed games. My regular opponent hasn't played any of the games, so though I have played one or two games with him with the theme, it isn't a common thing. It'd be nice to write up an in universe battle report (and help me establish the setting – ie events across on the Eastern side of the Colorado during the years leading up to the NCR's retreat from the region and the New Vegas stalemate).



Automatically Appended Next Post:
I was looking through the Art of Fallout 3 (which I really need to buy a physical copy of) in class there (it was a photoshop lesson, so extreme downtime). Anyway, besides being a nice insight into the game that could have been, there's an example of the original design for the Chinese Remnants. As a whole it looks quite a bit more tactical compared to the Mao suits they wound up with in the game, and a suitable compatriot of the American combat armour (ie it still looks somewhat like a Mao suit, though with more a stripped down combat armour appearance). So, inspired, I think that I'll base half my troops of of this style, and the others after the one seen in game (as full time properly equipped infantrymen and churned out conscripts respectively).



As an aside though; who's to say that it wasn't the US that was being invaded before the war? The only information that exists that America was winning the war and had invaded China is American sources (known for their propaganda). Ok, the US did have forces on Chinese soil (the Survivalist served there before the war), but who's to say that they weren't being pushed back from there and China was on the counter offensive? My point is, these remnants troops might not be necessarily the insurgent forces that the game puts across, but rather troops that were part of a larger vanguard? I wouldn't imagine that the US would be like that game Homefront, but China could have landed their army on the US mainland before the war, with the US retaliating with nukes as a result.

Just making y'all think a little. 

Fantastic!

The beauty of the fluff is that it's so propaganda-rich that it's anyone's guess as to what really happened.

That is so awesome dude. Very well done!

It was the aliens man!

Following on from my last post, I had a go at a Chinese soldier in combat gear. (Huh? Dakka's messed up the picture submitted earlier )



He's another Wargames Factory Russian with a Statuesque Miniatures AK, and Maxi Mini backpack. I rather like the look, and personally kind of think that the troopers in Fallout 3 would have looked better dressed like that (the Maoist suit suites conscripts, rear echelon troops more, like the Merc Grunt outfit's worn by the NCR/US army).

My internet connection's really iffy right now, so I'm hazarding against larger posts until its a bit more stable. =/

That really looks the part to me!

I'm liking the centurion. Good work on your greenstuffed models by the way.

Nice use of the original concept art to make a superior Chinese trooper! Good conversions so far, t this rate you will have a population of the wastes to rival a movie!

Thanks for the replies guys. The support's always nice (the throwing of rotten vegetables not so much).

@ shasolenzabi

Youknow I haven't actually counted how many Fallout themed models I have right now. A quick total of what I have above my painting table puts me at (), but I have another two boxes full of unpainted ones sitting elsewhere. I suppose I'm kind of aiming to have a collection large enough to run plot heavy scenarios. Really there is no actual end goal for me making all this stuff though. I mean I wind up with some interesting models and terrain, play some cool games, and whatever, but I find I'm just doing it as its something to fart about with.

The question is though; Do I now have more Fallout models than anyone else that's tackled the theme? Bragging rights are certainly a plus.

I'd meant to get a little painting today, but after a cuffuffle had to go out and try and find a new camera instead. Despite that, I'll show you some WIPs instead. Sorry about that. =/

The Red Menace had taken over my painting time, so I bring to small units of Chinese Remnants.

Chinese Conscripts (sans Ushanka)


Chinese Infantrymen (woops, forgot to tidy the goggles up)


As I have a game on Tuesday I need to make some more robots. This represents a mechanoid armed with lasers (ie one of the armoured Protectrons from the Pitt expansion).


On a side note; I fething hate sticking on tank tracks. ¬¬

I think you do have the most Fallout themed minis of all, so bragging rights earned!

Oh the models with the individual track links are work, but allow realistic track sagging and such.

Is that a JS-2 or KV tank in the background? If so, hehe, I've built both Tamiya versions, they're okay when it comes to the tracks. I also have a HobbyBoss KV-2, those tracks were a bit fiddly.

Its a HobbyBoss KV-1. Its not really on par with Tamiya kits (some of the bits in the instruction manual don't exist...), but serviceable. The tracks however are made up of two long sections with sagging for the top and bottom, then individual links for the front and back. ...I just really can't be bothered linking them all together (most of the time I mess it up, but a bit of mud covers up the worst of it). My intention is to make the vehicle look like its been hastily upgraded with more modern (for the Fallout world) technology, ie that's a Chinese variant of a Gauss Cannon (yes "cannon"), though really it'd probably be glass cannon compared to the other tanks, powered armoured troopers and weapons of the age.



...Ignore the Remnants in the background. Eugh, so many straps.

I am sorely tempted to do something funky with my KV-2 now.

Chinese Remnants
Commissar (Statuesque Miniatures)


What the hey? Something to add a bit more character to the faction. Perhaps she was originally an army Commissar sent in with the insurgents (assuming that China's based off of itself from the 50s before Commissars were phased out of the military). It could be that she was some propagandist, adopting the title after the war as it suited her duties (ie during the insurgency she was spreading pro-Chinese propaganda, with the introverted post war nature of the Remnants she's taken the role of a morale officer up). Something or other that may be decided should I play some scenarios with her.

The miniature's a Statuesque Miniatures (Vespera Veneko), with her left arm swapped out with one of the sword wielding ones from the Perry Civil War cavalry set. As a plus I can use her in other games as a regular human given that none of her ghoulish skin is showing, whilst there's a bit of a faceless sign of authority about her that's in no way a massive cliché. ^^'

Conscripts (Wargames Factory Russians)



Chinese troops based off of their appearance in Fallout 3. In games of 7Tv these would be Security Guards, based on their lower level of training compared to regular troops. I'll have another ten done at some point to bring me in line with the other factions I have in terms of numbers, though I'll leave that to a later post bunked in with their armoured support.

The People's Republic maintained a large military before the war. By the 21st century it had become one of the foremost in the world (and no doubt the largest). In the years preceding the Great War China would be involved in almost a decade of warfare against the United States. Whilst the US equipped the majority of its mainstream units with at least a suit of combat armour and assault rifle (even these were out of service for the more advanced laser rifles bar in national guard units), China did not have the resources to outfit its own forces to the same level. Their conscripts were sent to fight with not but a rugged Norinco combat rifle and mass produced jumpsuit to fight the foreign aggressors. Despite this China's military was on par with their US counterpart, with its troops no doubt just as determined to fight for their motherland.

*Ok that was mostly speculation. Operation Anchorage (which is canonically questionable) depicts the Chinese Army as being made up of conscripted and ill equipped soldiers. I call bullgak on that, rather I would think that yes, with the war continuing on for years there would be a decline in standards as the military did what it could to press a gun into the hands of anyone willing. The earlier Fallout games state that the Chinese were on a comparable technological level as the Americans in most areas (ie whilst the US were ahead on power armour, they were behind the Chinese on stealth technology), and so I would imagine that the Chinese were quite capable of fielding troops suited in Combat Armour and trained to a high standard.

* Also, nuts. Probably not noticeable to most, but I forgot to give these guys Bakelite mags on their Ak-74s. That, or these are actually those Colt AK rip-offs from the first two games. =P

Infantrymen (Wargames Factory Russians)


Which brings me onto these guys. A closer representation of China's army compared to its modern self, rather than as how Fallout 3 portrayed them (ie like the Red Army was during the mid part of the 20th century). The American army seemed to have progressed and yet China's was shown to be ill equipped in as much as the game showed. Operation Anchorage was intentionally biased as hell (in that it was a jingoistic training simulation created by an overly patriotic and unhinged General), so one could think that the actual People's Liberation Army was a lot more competent than it was shown in that DLC. My point; here's some more techy looking PLA troopers.

In 7Tv these are Soldiers with SMGs (that game needs an Assault rifle weapon). I'll be making another five at some point, but ...I can't be bothered greenstuffing any more up at the moment. It probably isn't noticeable, but the marksman has a modified helmet with optics included (though as they're pressed up against the scope they aren't too obvious), just to show that they're a bit techier than they may appear.

Hopefully they look all suitably manky (dirty for y'all foreign types). I'll note that those ghouls who's heads are visible aren't a light pink/yellow as they appeared in Fallout 3. One, that's just because all my models wind up with brownish skin tones, and two, as their description in the first games state “this person looks badly burned”, so I'm no expert, but I would think that anyone who's had their skin peeled off and charred would wind up looking like a dark bacon like mess.

And a mockup of some future modular trenches.


I don't solely play 7Tv, so most of the stuff I make can be doubled for other games. In this case this would be intended for use in scenarios set around entrenched NCR positions in particular (with the period I'm setting my games in being the NCR's expansion and eventual retreat across the Colorado river), but could equally be used by generic settlements, Legion Encampments, or whatever really. The plan is to have long sections, with a few corners, machine gun nests, and end pieces (for use as destroyed areas of trench, or just to allow for more options). These'll be put aside until a later date when I actually need to play such a scenario, as do I already have enough terrain sitting unpainted as it is to think about adding more to it. =P

I have a game of 7Tv planned for next week that I'm short of some robots for, so I'll need to get around to building up a few more more Protectrons and Mister Gutsys for that. So for my next update I may paint those up and just throw in some scientists or something to tide over until I work on some more faction stuff.

Very nice work as usual.

I like the commisar alot. And very interesting trenchwork.

Wow! amazing!

Also, Dust tactics miniatures has some Russian design tanks, with alternate gun is a Tesla weapon very similar to what he did to his KV

Looking Good!
